In the spirit of Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Peter H Reynold's charming book, Plant a Kiss,18 bloggers set out to "Plant a Kiss" in the world on April 29. We each did something we thought would spread a little extra joy, color, connection, poetry, or magic in the world. Then... Continue reading

Can you believe it's been a year since last year's Plant a Kiss Day? Where does the time go? My friend Sherry of Simply Celebrate started PAK day last year in honor of the delightful book by Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Peter H Reynolds. Have you read the book yet?... Continue reading

Darling Maxy, We love you so very much Thank you for choosing us. Your goodness and peaceful sweet spirit have transformed all of us since the day we first discovered we were pregnant with you. In our little merged household, we made a wish for you when we were in... Continue reading

The official due date of your birth was February 27th, 2013, though your Daddy and I had high hopes that you would wait until March 1st or some days after. He has been away on a Magic-Circus tour in Texas and was due to return that Friday. I began my... Continue reading

It's hard for me to imagine that our time together, entwined like so, is nearly done, little prince. On Thursday, your official due date, I will be 40 weeks... This is bittersweet for me. I had always wanted to experience pregnancy, always. But, in my younger years, I was busy,... Continue reading

Pinterest is my favorite space on the web. I've been visiting Pinterest daily since late 2010 for inspiration, motivation, and ideas. After over 2,000 "Pins", however, I realized that I had yet to really attempt any of the Home ideas, make any recipes, or craft one DIY project. As my... Continue reading

Weekends have always held a secret magical power of Permission to take it easy, to explore, to take the long way home, to linger, to sleep in a few minutes (or an hour) longer, to dawdle and slowly participate in whatever way we choose. This weekend, why don't you: Discover... Continue reading

Did you know that Happy could be found in Texas? Me neither, and yet - here it is as captured by my husband's camera while on tour in Texas. Happiness can really be found in the most unlikely of places... or perhaps happiness can be found, as a wise man... Continue reading

What can i say? No words could possibly do justice to the magic of the past 37 (almost 38) weeks. Our official due date is February 27th, 2013 - but we're hoping this little one arrives a bit later than that so that Mr B can return from his tour... Continue reading

How many days do we take for granted? How many days do we mindlessly wake, eat, work, half listen, half connect? If there is one thing I've noticed since becoming pregnant, is how mindful I have become. I am mindful of what I eat, my reactions to people and situations,... Continue reading

Wouldn't it be fun if we could combine the visual collecting of inspiration of Pinterest with Shopping? Luvocracy, currently in its early stages, does just that. I've been playing with the site since receiving my invitation a few weeks ago, and really love it so far. And, I'm rather in... Continue reading

I wish I had made that up - the be back soons... but, it's actually from one of my all time favorite books - "The Tao of Pooh". Of course, the book advises not to always be so very busy... It's busy here. Very, very, very. That Magician husband of... Continue reading

Many years ago, I took a personality profile test which underwhelmed me. I wanted to be a Red (action based) personality; but, instead I was a green-red with a splash of yellow (doesn't like to be categorized). I felt, at the time that this was absurd. I didn't mind being... Continue reading

(Map of Imagination by Villa Figura on Etsy!) When I was a young girl, I wanted to join the circus. Paper mache clowns perched on trapeze swings hung from the ceiling in my room, while books about Clown School and Tightrope walkers perched on my dresser. I never missed Circus... Continue reading

Shortly after my (now) husband and I began dating, I started taking photos of his and hers items to remind myself of our dates, special occasions, and everyday activities. After seven years, I have quite the collection of these pairings, and many of these photos capture us and our adventures... Continue reading

I've heard it said that anything and EVERYTHING that we are, that we manifest, that we attract, that we suffer, and that we achieve is 100% grown from a seed called "self esteem". This seed of self regard encompasses how worthy we feel to attract the experiences we wish to... Continue reading

This past week was a big one for the Bird household. Isn't it amazing how you can be making plans towards one direction, then, with one phone call, your entire day/month/year changes entirely? Yes, Mr Lennon, Life is what happens when you're making other plans. When more is set in... Continue reading

While relaying a moment our 9 year old daughter had with another adult, she spoke of a young boy who stood in front of a supermarket selling candy bars for a dollar apiece, holding a handmade cardboard sign. He wore tattered clothes and shoes and appeared quite poor. When she... Continue reading

Do you like challenges or avoid them? Do you have commitment phobia (as I do) when it comes to anything with a number attached to a daily-do (as in 365 photos, 52 weeks of ...) ? For me, my aversion to challenges has been most likely due to perfectionism -... Continue reading

Why do I have two blogs? Sometimes, I'm not entirely certain I know the answer. They seem to intertwine themselves in a way that I am still attempting to reconcile. It seemed for a long period, I stopped writing altogether because I felt a conflict between the vision and goals... Continue reading

Where do I begin ...? As this list is so very close to my home and heart, I very nearly posted this on my "other" (more personal) blog. But... the lightbulb went off that these intentions, goals, dreams and plans are pure Believe.Hope.Dream. If BHD is all about living a... Continue reading

This Winter has been particularly tiring on every level. Normally, I don't mind the Winter so very much. I usually enjoy the opportunity to bundle up, drink hot toddies, and tuck into the Season with a good book; but not this Winter. This winter has me yearning for a tropical... Continue reading

I'm on a "Happiness" Quest for 2013 - a quest to eliminate stress (or finally learn to handle it better), increase energy, become more productive, and generally enjoy my life more. This is so important to me, that I am still compiling my list of goals and projects for the... Continue reading
